Beskrivelse
In this collection of stories, Dennis Sweet weaves together autobiography and fantasy to produce a tapestry of memories and moods, reflecting life in a small Missouri community during the 1960s. The contents range from innocent, coming-of-age stories to darker, more sinister tales. Readers familiar with the author's earlier novel, Piney Parish: A Biofantasy (2018), will find here the backstories of several of the characters featured there.Overshadowing all, innocent and sinister alike, is the mysterious man whose face is masked with a blue bandana-the Sack Man. Like the book itself, he appears as sometimes sinister, sometimes innocent: an ever-present presence, both known and enigmatic. For better or for worse, everyone eventually falls under the long shadow of the Sack Man.
